We filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Aurora Pride challenging the city’s special events ordinance which gives the city police a veto by allowing them not to staff the event if they do not agree with the message.

Under the agreement reached today UpRising Bakery will be free to move forward with plans for future events, including the rescheduled drag event, in accord with current zoning laws.

Just one week after UpRising Bakery, a Lake in the Hills business, was extensively vandalized and forced to cancel a brunch event featuring drag performers, local officials are abandoning their support for the shop and owner and forcing owner Corrina Bendel Sac to cancel all future special events.

Earlier today, the City of Aurora notified our clients Aurora Pride that their permit for a Pride Parade on Sunday, June 12 has been reinstated.
